Event Details

Join us for a night of unique new beers, paired food, and great company this Wednesday, 06/04 at East End Grille in Somerville!

Be the first to enjoy the 2014, 8.5% Saison-Brett, a true connoisseur's beer brewed with wild Brettanomyces yeast, dry hopped with Amarillo, and bottle conditioned for months. Traditional saison flavors are complemented by the earthy, leathery, and tobacco nuances that the Brett imparts.

Be the first to try the brand new Entwined Ale, crossing wine and beer. Brewed with Muscat grape juice, giving it a delicate, refreshing character balanced with special New Zeland hops, noted for their winy, berry-like notes.

Saison - 8.3% 38 IBUs

Saison-Brett, based on our very popular Tank 7, is assertively dry hopped, then bottle conditioned with various yeasts, including Brettanomyces, a wild strain that imparts a distinctive earthy quality. Though this farmhouse ale was given three months of bottle age prior to release, further cellaring will continue to enhance the Brett character, if that's what you're after. Winner, GABF Gold Medal.

Specialty Beer - 4.2% 10 IBUs

Our first stop on the backroads journey is a delightful beverage located at the intersection of wine and beer. Entwined Ale is brewed with Muscat grape juice, giving it a delicate, refreshing character. It is then balanced - appropriately, with Nelson Sauvin hops, noted for their winey, berry-like notes. Entwined Ale finishes crisp and dry, with a hint of sweetness.

Black IPA - 7.7% 65 IBUs

Just when you thought it was safe to come out of the root cellar, along comes Grainstorm, a big, wet wallop to the senses. In the glass, dark and turbulent clouds gather. A high-pressure system of pungent hops collides with a stationary front of barley, wheat, and rye. The forecast: a veritable monsoon of flavor, with surges of roasty malt, microbursts of hops, and a chance of golfball-sized hail. The extended outlook calls for unseasonably pleasant enjoyment. This dark, assertively-hopped ale features a special blend of malts, giving it a rich, deep color without adding roastiness, and allowing the distinctive tang of rye to shine through. Hops take center stage, however, with Amarillo, Simcoe, and Citra applied generously in dry hopping. The piqant, fruity characteristics of the hops perfectly complement the rye. The rich, hop forward character of Grainstorm allows for favorable pairings with strongly-flavored dishes such as spicy sausage, BBQ meats, peppery cheeses, and game.

Saison - 8.5% 44 IBUs

Most breweries have at least one piece of equipment that's just a bit persnickety. Here at Boulevard we have fermenter number seven, the black sheep of our cellar family. Ironically, when our brewers were experimenting with variations on a traditional Belgian-style farmhouse ale, the perfect combination of elements came together in that very vessel. You could call it fate, but they called it Tank 7, and so it is. Beginning with a big surge of fruity aromatics and grapefruit-hoppy notes, the flavor of this complex, straw-colored ale tapers off to a peppery, dry finish.

Imperial Stout - 11% 63 IBUs

Like India Pale Ale, the classic Imperial Stouts were originally brewed with high levels of alcohol and hops to withstand the rigors of a long sea journey, not to India but to Imperial Russia and the Baltic States. Our version is an over-the-top riff on the style, with a huge grain bill featuring several kinds of malted barley, wheat, rye, oats, and spelt. Robust grain and coffee flavors are counterbalanced by date and plum notes from the Belgian yeast. To add extra complexity and depth, this Imperial Stout is made up of a blend of freshly brewed beer and several barrel-aged beers, carefully balanced.
